    Very, very funny. It's easy to get acquainted with it, and very difficult to master. Nice graphics, possibility to play in local multiplayer up to four players with split-screen. Big plus: runs on Linux!

    It's funny! And Addictive! And more funny! Soccer + Cars with simplified mechanics. It's difficult to develop a game in this way and become a good one. And the developers are updating it each week with improvements

    A fresh new idea,combine Soccer and racing.
    for 20 dollar price,it is definitely worth it.
    The controls are fluent and easy,but need experience to become pro. Tons of gamemodes,but I think they need to add more in the future. Lots of cool customization without paying extra money. A good replay system,smooth camera rotate. Thank god this game come out in July,It's lack of game in July    A fresh new idea,combine Soccer and racing.

    It's pretty ok (Pun Intended(Looks At Username))
    fun to play mostly with friends but it's also highly playable by yourself if you don't have anyone to play with.
    graphics are amazing and i love to play this with my mates.

    However it is really fun, easy to get into, but skill based so that you get better.

    The online play is fantastic. Lots of servers, lots of players, casual and ranked classification so you aren't thrown in with a bunch of serious skill players. No lag. It is just a very good experience.

    You can also upgrade cars, tires, paint jobs, ornaments, etc. with experience or cheap DLC packs.

    Normally I hate DLC just to put more money in a huge multinational's pockets.

    But when the original game launched at $20 (cheaper with sales and coupons) I don't mind paying a few dollars for a small DLC pack to give a small team some support. This is the way to do DLC. Top quality game, small price, small DLC packs showing continued development.

    Very nicely done.    … Expand

    This is a fun game with a learning curve that is not to steep for newbie players to adapt to. The best thing about this is there is no pay to win way to the top, it is all about skill. It is a game you can either drop in and out of for brief sessions or embark on a lengthy spat.

    Rocket League was an instant classic when it came out, and it has only gotten better over time. Endless replayability, and what is said about the game is true; it's a sports game for people that don't like sports games. It's worth the asking price two times over. Micro-transactions are cosmetic only.

It's also rewarding because you learn how to perform new maneuvers and improve on them over time - so you can look back at how you used to play and see how far you've come. I can't praise this game much more, but I will say that there are some issues with matchmaking. There are instances where you will get matched against players that are far better or worse than you (this is more typical if you're playing in a group or at the beginning of a season in ranked). And my only caution to new players thinking of getting the game is that because the portion of the player base that are beginners I believe is small now, you may have alot of tough matches ahead of you. Best multiplayer game IMO. 9.3/10… Expand

    On the outside Rocket League seems like it's just car soccar, but it's so much more than that. I'm not a football/soccer fan but I still very much enjoy this game. RL is action packed, fast, fun with friends and is also very competetive. There's always an aspect where you can improve and this makes it so much to play because youre a new player each game!

    So after 1,000 hours on PC and reaching level 1000 (note: there's no level cap in the game, and 1 hour does not equal 1 level, just happened to get it around the same time) and about 90 hours on PS4 i'm reviewing this game. Currently ranked Diamond 3 in 3s and touched Champ 1 once at 933 hours.

Currently ranked Diamond 3 in 3s and touched Champ 1 once at 933 hours. This game has such a simple concept on the surface, but is a rabbit hole when you get more into it with how deep the skillset gets, especially for new players, but it's not like other games where you need to learn an order, it's just moves that you'll use on the pitch to give you the edge.

    I'll start off with saying I haven't been this into a game since Call of Duty MW2 came out, it's very easy to lose many hours in this game, the amount of mechanics involved is huge and each one fun to learn about, positioning and game sense are also super important, this game really is the cliché 'easy to get into, hard to master'. After 1,000+ hours i'm still learning things I didn't know about which is the cool thing about this game, there's pretty much no ceiling cap on skill.

    Practicing training packs and freeplay are the best bet for getting better, spend a few hours working on your mechanics consistently and you'll see improvement real quick. The competitive side of this game is equally fun but you will come across toxic people like in every other competitive game. The game has a great e-sports scene, that's proper entertaining, especially RLCS, that keeps the game going.

    5 minute games is perfect for someone who doesn't want to commit too much time to playing and just wants to play some casual quick games, but for competitive the hours really do need to be put in to get good, its not something that happens over a few weeks, but you will see improvements which is what motivates you to get better.

    There's no boring moment when playing Rocket League since there's only a few players on the pitch. Also great in-game music directly from Monstercat that's updated every few weeks! The game has nice maps with different game modes that keep you busy if you wanna switch things up, and a strong amount of community maps in the workshop to test your ability or just have some fun in. The game has seasonal events that give you the opportunity to get new items while just playing which is nice. There is a Rocket Pass in the game which is the same as a Battle Pass in other games that gives some cool items, although some items are a bit uninspired. Also a new introduction of a blueprint system to replace crates and the inclusion of an item shop that has pretty expensive items wasn't the best thing they could have done. Overall though I highly recommend this game!    … Expand

    A very good take on "car football", this game gives you many hours of fun. It has a great plethora of customization options, and lots of room for you grow and develop new techniques as a player. Playing with some friends is a true joy and will not leave you disappointed.

Os únicos lados negativos do jogo são, sua internet tem que estar totalmente dedicada para o jogo, as vezes tu entra em uma partida cujo o seu amigo esta parado, se ele ficar muito tempo parado ele é expulso, algo que é bom pois entra um bot que muitas vezes te da raiva, mas alguém depois pode o substituir. As vezes o servidor da América do Sul caí fora do ar e demora uns dias pra voltar.

There isn't a "luck script" or scripted things like in most of the games. if something happens, it's because of your action or the opponent's one.

    Do you remember “Top Gear” episodes in which football matches were played using hatchbacks? The same idea is the cornerstone of Rocket League – one of those jewels that do not care for bells and whistles (though it does look great) and Kevin Spacey in the credits, instead focusing on squeezing every last drop of fun out of a simple concept.
